Instructions
Add all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) to a food processor and mix until all ingredients are combined well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out 16 balls (about a heaping tablespoon in size), or however many you wish. After scooping, roll into balls with your hands. You can dampen your palms with a little water or nonstick spray to help prevent sticking.
Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
To make vegan: sub pancake syrup for pure maple syrup; use a plant-based protein powder, ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free.
